March 22, 2025 – Pray. Believe. Receive.
Matthew 21:21-22
Sermon: 1358 The Wings of Faith, Part 2
Pray Over This
“So Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea,” it will be done. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.’”
Matthew 21:21-22
Ponder This
I’ve heard many say, “You know, Pastor, I’m saved, but I’m struggling in my Christian life. I’ve got worldliness. I’ve got problems. I’ve got temptations. How am I going to overcome?” Trying to live the Christian life is like struggling to get out of quicksand. The more you struggle, the deeper you sink till you come to the place where you say, “I can’t. He never said I could, but He can. He always said He would, and I’m going to trust Him.” That’s more than a play on words. This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. And if you are bound by some problem or some habit, quit trying and start trusting. Believe God for the victory.
This is also true for soul winning. How are you going to be a soul winner? By believing God. Spiritual wealth comes by faith. Salvation comes by faith. Sanctification comes by faith. Soul winning comes by faith. Supplication, our prayers being answered, comes by faith. Pray and believe, you’ll receive; pray and doubt, you do without.
- What are some ways you have tried to live the Christian life on your own? How did that go?
- Is there a habit of sin in your life that only He can redeem? Are you willing to repent and live in victory through Christ?
Practice This
Speak out loud about God’s ability to change you and grow your faith. Remind yourself of His promises and who He is by saying it loud so you can hear it and remember it.
